August photos

Thanks to a battery cover that is breaking on my camera, I've been rather remiss about uploading photos to Flickr (since I taped up the cover, and peeling off the tape to get to the memory card is annoying). However, this photo group (and the June and July ones) should get people "caught up" to the random photos taken around town.


Repair crane sitting on a pontoon on Barton Pond.


A scrumptious dinner of (clockwise from top-center) chanterelles, chicken burgers & kale, chicken-of-the-woods, and fried rice (cooked in the juice of the chanterelles).


Damnable purple loosestrife!


The migrations are starting.


The bus shelters on North University (new as of January).


Feasting on milkweed.


Misty morning on Third Sister Lake


Cycling up the driveway in Saginaw Forest.


Repair work on Barton Dam (closing off the gangway above to pedestrian traffic).


Railroad repair vehicles. (I suspect that some of these are meant to pull out and replace the railroad ties, since I saw many stacked up haphazardly along other sections of the railroad.)
